Vivid, visceral, gorgeous, perfectly captures the agony of growing up; the fact that it wasn’t finished is a genuine tragedy

I don't think this could've become a good book.

challenging emotional reflective slow-paced

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This is at times painfully boring and overly detailed with long half-page length sentences. It’s highlights however are beautiful and vivid and, as such, absolute reading for those who want to understand who Camus is. These high moments made me very emotional and left me reflective. It is also however, by definition, very rough and unfinished.

Temática extremamente sensível, além das circunstâncias do livro é claro. O universo ambíguo do protagonista é trazido pouco a pouco para o leitor, culminando na extrema simpatia pelo protagonista Jacques. O último parágrafo me fez literalmente chorar. Lindo!

کتاب خوبی بود. می‌توانست بهتر هم شود به این شرط که کامو به جای ماشین دوست و ناشر کارهایش، با همان قطاری که بلیتش را همراه داشت، به سفر می‌رفت! از پانویس‌های کتاب می‌شود به خوبی متوجه این نکته شد که نوشته‌ها به بازبینی و ویرایش نیاز دارند که شوربختانه با مرگ کامو، انجام نشد.
یک خودزندگی‌نامه پایان نیافته.
